PGWI-CETRA Language Solutions Partnership

PGWI would like to thank our partner CETRA Language Solutions for their support for the Cameroon Project!  They have raised over $6,000 to provide a community in Cameroon with a source of clean water, and to educate and empower the people of the community to successfully maintain their water system.  PGWI partnering with Meta Quality of Life Foundation (MQLIF)- Cameroon Partner, and Penn Engineers without Borders (PennEWB)  are working on a phased plan for concentrating these efforts and providing additional training in the Bome Valley where the existing water system is to be rehabilitated and  expanded.
